We've had a lot of experience shopping for new furniture , so we definitely understand that finding the best sectional for your home can be an overwhelming process. There are many factors to consider — from the size and style to the price tag and build — but we can never turn down the comfort and roominess that a classic sectional sofa provides. In fact, most comfortable sectionals come in two pieces, making them easy to squeeze through tight doors and staircases upon delivery or fit right into the corner of a small-space room.
To help you determine what exact frames and styles you should be looking for in your next comfy sectional, we turned to design expert Gil Walsh of GW Interiors , who knows a thing or two about finding the best sectionals. With more than 30 years of design experience in both residential and commercial projects, Walsh knows which details to look for when searching for the best sofa for your home. With her impressive design background, we asked her to give us a few tips for sofa shopping; she shares her unique expertise about the most comfortable sectional couches ahead.
What to Look For When Buying a Sectional Sofa "The first thing we look at is the frame," Walsh says. The frame is the structure of your sofa, and if it's not well-made, the chances of your sectional breaking sooner than you'd like are high. Before the inevitable happens, Walsh recommends looking for styles with a hardwood frame — not to be confused with plywood.
